Chocolatte is an absolute must visit for parents with young kiddos! My daughter loved playing there…read moreso much she talked about it for days. It's a perfect warm weather visit for ice cream, milkshakes, sundaes, smoothies, or affogatos. I really liked the Purple Mountain ice cream flavor. Cold weather? Ice cream is still good ;) but they also have espresso drinks (with Buena Vista Roastery beans) and desserts. The entire space is very Instagram-able and can even be rented out for kids parties. My main gripe - they really need a deep clean of the seating and playground areas. Some of the benches show signs of wear but it may just be that they need a good cleaning. The kids play area really shows it since a lot of it is white. Some of the balls in the ball pit are smashed, and there were crumbs of food inside (food isn't allowed in the play area, tsk tsk). They have playground rules posted but they're actually hard to see - they should be placed in a more prominent location so parents can read before their kids play. Also it's very quiet inside if it's not full of people - some background music wouldn't hurt :)

So creamy and perfect. The outdoor space is big with lots of seating, a playhouse, climbing rope, swing, ect It also connects to the jail in case an adult wants to grab a pint- it's a pathway away. No samples is the only bummer but you can't go wrong here and it would probably only make the line longer so I get it.

The bread here alone is super impressive, we ate a whole pretzel loaf as an appetizer and i don't regret it. The Mojo Pork Benedict was absolutely delicious! The pork was so tender and flavorful and the eggs were cooked perfectly. My sister's cinammon roll French toast was the best dessert breakfast! Overall this place is really impressive and is churning out delicious food in such a tiny space!

I didn't even get to take a photo of the pretzel because I completely annihilated it. It was phenomenal. I came to my senses enough go photograph the sandwich, it was also amazingly good. I passed the loaf around to everyone at my table and we all really liked it. I also got a cute little mason jar for my drink which is so cool. The eatery is inside a little shop so the vibe is very granola in the best way. It smells incredible inside. The staff is also so incredibly nice and gave me several recommendations and made it all seem like incredible options. The price point is high, but i'm learning that's just Colorado in general. I had no issue spending my money here.

Whenever we pass through BV, we find ourselves dropping into Cool River. The place is always…read morehopping, and this recent stop was no exception. There is almost always a line snaking through the shop to place your order, but the staff is genuinely hustling hard to move people along. Once you get through the queue, you grab your drink and wait for them to call your name from the kitchen. It is a familiar routine for a reliable morning fuel up. Truth be told, this particular visit turned into a bit of a comedy of errors. I ordered a Cool River Burrito with chorizo, but the kitchen lost the ticket entirely. When they finally sorted that out, they failed to pack it to go as requested, so it ended up being a bit of a messy situation overall. To add to the frustration, the outdoor tables were pretty neglected. None of them had been wiped down or cleared, and unfortunately they were the only spots available to sit. Honestly, the food itself usually redeems the bumps in the road. When the burrito did show up, it was tasty and plenty big enough to satisfy a massive appetite, packed full of hearty ingredients and that chorizo punch. The interior space is definitely on the cramped side, but it manages to feel cute and features a nice modern vibe. Despite the logistical hiccups, the crew working the counter is incredibly kind and busting their humps to keep up with the rush. It remains a great, dependable spot to grab breakfast and a solid coffee drink when you are in town.
